Great day today, I was in excellent spirits! I delivered Cassadaga today and had lunch with Dennis Hollin, dropped my phone in my soup and have ordered a replacement (the 6085).  I rescued the Simm card out of it but apparently the last year’s worth of numbers were not being saved to it.   I figured out since I have only 53 numbers in it that only the first 53 must have been saved to the card, and the rest saved to the phone.  I will remember not to do that this time.  I had lunch with Dennis Hollin in Orlando (at Little Saigon on Colonial Road/Hwy 50 just east of I-4) on my way back from delivering Cassadaga.

May 23, 2017 If you got to this page by Googling Dennis’ name over a stupid tipsy post he made on Facebook, yes that was stupid but he’s apologized, admits it was completely inapproriate and that he never should have said it.  I’ve known Dennis 20 years. He can blurt out some dumb stuff, but he never means anyone harm.  If you’re drinking at midnight with a crude crowd, it’s easy to get caught up in their lingo. 

5-26-08 email from F:   So Let me make sure I have this right I can burn up bad karma by doing right things and make more karma by gossiping, lying, stealing etc.  My experience is what it is is that the momentum of your good works in the Now will slowly begin to compensate for your selfish or unconscious works of the past.  So If a person meditates quietly it will burn up karma also. because it is being at one with you and God at that moment?

Good question. No, it is that as you meditate and your mind begins to settle down, you will begin to receive guidance as to how to proceed in a different way, what subtle changes to make in your life or your behaviors or your thinking or the people around you, etc.     Continue reading →

I sat next to Linda Mathews at the Metaphysicians Circle Sunday meeting and she asked how my journal back to health was doing. I told her I’d dramatically changed my diet and now, 4 years later, had zero problems. Since watching fat grams is basically the only change I made (which cut out meats and fried stuff), she suggested I also cut carbs, always eat a protein with a carb, and pay attention to portion control.  Continue reading →

I’m at what I guess is Mom’s house and on a sofa I what I guess is her room and we’re both reading and dawn is approaching so I am preparing to go to sleep, right there on the sofa. She tells me I have to go back to my room to sleep and I asked if I could sleep on the couch in the living room and she says no. she doesn’t’ have to be at work until noon and doesn’t want to tiptoe around me. I get up to walk to my room and look out the window and see a nice landscaped piece of yard, seemingly on the side of a hill, and the red mulch is down and it looks freshly done.    Continue reading →

I should clear my desk of work today but think I might want to tackle a giant cleanup in my main office. I put all these neat little white bookcases in here so I could keep papers visible without having a second desk, yet now I have 4-5 little tray tables full of work covering the bookshelves so I can’t even see them.  I find I am too comfortable sitting in a space that slowly becomes a nest buried under a mound of papers.  So maybe this week I will get organized in here.  Then all that is left is organizing my back office.  My closets are all good.   My shed could use some organization but it’s manageable and very little trash or clutter. Oh, wait, there’s my back porch.  I still haven’t folded my tent up properly and put it back away.  It’s on the back porch dry and folded on the table.  The back porch gets real dirty because all the pollen from the oak overhead seeps in through the screen and settles on everything.  Then the cobwebs appear, then dustbunnies.  I slept all night on the couch and moved sprinklers around when I woke up.  I cooked some chicken for dinner and some rice.  I love a rice cooker!  I put chicken strips in the freezer when I get them and then a couple of hours later I cut them into like 1-2″ cubes and freeze in the portions I want. Because I’ve learned I will eat whatever I cook, 4 oz or 16 oz.  So I have the thawed chicken cubes in a big baggie and I open it up and throw a bunch of white flour in it, and about a tablespoon yep tablespoon for every 4 oz I’d say garlic powder, and maybe a half teaspoon each of salt and pepper, cumin, thyme, cinnamon, maybe some paprika and a pinch of red pepper if I’m feeling frisky.  Then I blow air into the baggie as I close it up, then shake it all around and then let the air out and squish the flour into the chicken real good.  Then I put 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a pan and saute the chicken in it.  It’s the thing I cook and eat that by far has the most fat.

I just got the June Horizons to the printer.  I also just cleaned out my garage and shed and dropped many things off at Fellowship church parking lot 965 Malabar Road SW, I first took them to Our Lady of Grace at direction of today’s Florida Today article.  However, the woman who answered the church phone said they were no longer a shelter nor a drop off point for the fire victims.  She gave me the number to call The Sharing Center.  Dave answered the phone at the Sharing Center, I told him where I was, and asked where I could take my items.  He sent me to the Fellowhsip Building , a few blocks due west, for dropoff.  I was almost back up to it and could tell the man in the van in front of me had a group and was also going there.  The place looked deserted,,except there was one box spring and mattress laying next to some dropped off clothes and hundreds of cases of bottled water.  I left my stuff there, hoping my childhood teddy bears would give comfort to some kids.  I needed a new toaster oven, so I cleaned mine up and boxed it up and bought another on the way home from dropping off to the church.  Also about a dozen shirts each size for teenage boys and younger and some old shirts and pants of my father-in -law’s. Also I put a windchime in each box and some new fresh unwapped chapstick. I wonder where they should all really be dropped off. Well, Spirit will get them to the right people.

Just finished the June mag *yay* oh hey I filled the tank for the second time in my Toyota Prius, it took $25 and I got 41 mpg on the first tank.  And I do 80 mph up and down I-95 each week *I’m stoked*

The news Central Florida News 13 said he rents a room in a house 3 blocks south of me, I think he was just walking through my yard because he was taking the woods way back to his house from points north of me where he’d began a fire about 5am.  He didn’t count on the privacy fences inside my east woods, and the maze of trails, so he had to walk right in my open yard to get back out to the street.  He was staying under the cover of woods so the helicopters didn’t see him as he made his way home.  If he hadn’t spoken, I would not have turned around and seen him.  Divine intervention.  As it turns out, I know his mother.  Continue reading →

7:45am I was in my nightgown out in my backyard, setting the sprinklers for the day. I finished and stepped behind my eleagnus hedge to go into my back porch when I hear a man’s voice and I looked up and saw him. He was maybe 5’10-6ft, slim build 170-185, blonde hair, kinda of Tom Petty -ish looking and wearing a blue tee shirt.  I heard him say “I think I got the wrong one”   Not quietly to himself but as though he was on a cell phone he might have had in his hand as he walked, he had a small something with him. When I heard his voice, I looked over. Had he not spoken I would not have looked that way and would not have seen him at all.  He was coming out of my east woods behind the satellite dish and walking along the east side of the house toward the street. I walked into my back door and right out the front to see what kind of vehicle he was driving, thinking he might be a utility worker and by the time I got to the street, he was nowhere to be seen, no cars on the street, plus my giant kitty Izzy was laying in the middle of the path, so I know the man did not pass him, and that he had to have gone right back into my east woods.  Continue reading →

We had a great drum circle at Canova Beach last night. It was held at sundown with the intent to bring on some rain to help quench the Palm Bay arson fires. I emailed my group:

“We’re kinda pinned in by traffic here in Palm Bay, SW Palm Bay has been asked to evacuate (sorry Shannon B).  I am in SE Palm Bay, a mile north of Bayside Lakes between Emerson and Eldron, 2-3 miles north of the fires but feel safe, and it seems like it’s getting under control.

REMEMBER, if you have the tv tuned to the news and are watching the fires, you are vibrating in a place of keeping the fires going.

REMEMBER the news will continue to show the most outrageous footage, like the one of the kids running screaming thru the school earlier today.  That is not happening now!  Right now they are getting it under control.

PLEASE THINK AND FEEL that things are being handled well.
PLEASE THINK AND FEEL that help is happening.
PLEASE THINK AND FEEL that as night falls, the rains are heading our way.
PLEASE THINK AND FEEL what a good downpour would feel like to our yards.
PLEASE THINK AND FEEL how fun to know we’re getting a good soaking rain.

If you have to watch the news, just remember that God/Goddess is stronger than any fire.  In June 2003, my neighborhood lost acres of woods and one home to fire.  It stopped at my property.  I know we can escape trouble even though it’s all around us.  God/Goddess is stronger than any fire!

Send us good thoughts down here, we’re not worried but we know how it looks to you guys up there”
